About Winkleigh Primary School

Winkleigh Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 18 first-preference applications for just 17 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it officially oversubscribed. The school received 22 total applications for those places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.29, meaning more than one family applied for every available spot. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey or recommendation percentage to back that up directly. The school is a mixed, state primary in Torridge, Devon, with a nursery provision for children from age 0, and it currently has 205 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. Headteacher Victoria Fenemore leads a school that was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2013 and 2022 inspections.
